When your deviance keeps me from using the Bible to criticize your behavior then you have taken away my civil rights. As of yet, in this country it hasn't happened. But people like you would like nothing better. When the thought police start telling me what I can say or not say then you've got a problem with me and I will use any manner possible to fight that. At that point it is no longer a republic it is a dictatorship.
There is Not a single contradiction. The passages are talking about two seperate things. Of course Bible-Haters/Skeptics/Atheists can't/don't want to see that.
Right now it is only the sodomites who are on a crusade to destroy the nation and drag down morality. Adultery and Fornication do not have governmental acceptance, there is not an active crusade for adulterers and fornicators to get societal and governmental acceptance of their perversion. The sodomites are in fact leading the charge. You don't see Adultery and Fornication recruitment lesson plans in public schools. All you see is sodomites pushing their immorality on society.
But you are NOT exposed to 'different things' to anywhere near the same degree on campus. The left-leaning philosophy is encouraged and promoted. Womans studies by and large is an anti-male department there is no other program to balance it. Ive seen courses teaching witchcraft, communism etc. I had taken a search in anthropology class that explained how religious beliefs were developed to protect the people, not God inspired, and thus was bebunking religion.
[Replying to "A large number of children are receiving a poor education, possess very bad manners, and have little respect for others"]Pop-Culture, Single Parent Households, A Lack of Morality, and libertine attitudes are to blame for that. The sodomite households multiple the problems above. Studies have shown that children raised in sodomite households are more likely to experience a host of problems... A return to Biblical Morality is the answer to our kids problems, not perverting them even more than they already are.
I attending a major university now and let me tell you the brainwashing is almost universal. Clubs/activities include how to crossdress, speakers are almost universally anti-US, white, male, hetro, Christian and are rarely criticized for these views.
Homosexuality is a perversion and an abomination. It is an intolerable evil. I am equally against ALL sexual perversion. (By the way, There is no such thing as Homophobia. That is an invention of leftists/marxists in their never ending jamming crusade.)
Skeptics/Atheists/Perverts falsely assume that the majority of people agree with their perversions.
LOL, another Bible Hater comes out of the wood work with the same misquoteing and twisting of verses that all skeptics/atheists use. Bible-Haters/Atheists/Skeptics hate being told about sin. They want to silence anyone who speaks out against sin (as the Bible Commands) so they attempt to twist to Bible to accomplish this.
So you retreat to leftist jamming propaganda now? Very mature of you. I often wonder Why do you feminists want to silence everyone? Then I remember that emotional Tantrums are the trademark of radical feminism. Perhaps 'The Goddess' told you to act like a 2 year old. I do wonder Where that 'tolerance' that you hold so dear has gone?
I Guess it is easy to bring up the Taliban boogeyman. (Trademark of leftists.) Let me ask, Were our Founders Taliban? They codified Sodomy and Adultery as Capital Crimes. While not Capital Offenses, Blasphemy, Pornography and Fornication were illegal.
Out of Wedlock Sex would be Fornication, both of you would be committing a Capital Crime. The penality for Blasphemy is death. The list of moral laws is rather extensive, many of those are however Capital Crimes as well. Yes witchcraft would also be a capital crime.
God lays out for us precisely what his laws and moral standards for us are. He tells us what is right and what is wrong. His model for living is the only right one. When he returns he is going to set everything right, and it isn't going to be a Democracy.
Professionals who are Marxists intent on destroying the family. I am sure some day the psychology profession is going to attempt to define Christianity as a mental disorder (The main reason the Communists wanted Control of the 'Mental Health' profession.)
I am not imagining any Marxist Conspiracy, it is very real.
I am a college graduate and although I received critical thinking instruction from both of my parents, who were teachers, before I went to school, while there I observed many kids who did not have the same. Kids are vehicles of learning with mush for brains. Highly impressionable. If they don't have the proper training at home, many will latch on to radical ideas from college professors, because most kids are natuarally rebellious to some extent at that age. Usually intellectual maturation doesn't occur before college, it happens aftwerwards.
The last time I looked my country mentioned 'the year of our Lord' in its Constitution. I don't recall muslims ever considering Allah their Lord. So in that case it doesn't matter what in the hell some muslims think.
Sexual Perversion destroys the society around it. You destroy the rights of all people by engaging in perversion then seeking to normalize and gain acceptance of your deviancy. Sodomites are not the only ones guilty of this however.
I think you misunderstand what I am getting at. Is it pessimistic to state what everyone can observe? That men are sinful, and it is man who is a 'failure' not the teaching of Scripture. That all systems of gov't are bound to fail if they depend on men? The purpose of Scripture is not to provide us with a 'foolproof' legal system, it is to show us that we have no hope apart from Jesus.
